Umami Moto, 718 N. Milwaukee St., reopened this week after closing March 4 for a remodeling project. The dining room looks quite a bit different, judging from restaurant photos of the space — and so does the menu.

The physical changes are the most noticeable at first — like the new sushi bar (above) and wooden elements added to the black, white and celery green décor.

But the SURG group has made big changes to Umami Moto's menu, largely shifting away from the creative, adventurous small plates and entrées it’s been serving in the past year or so, and expanding its sushi lineup. Some dishes from previous menus also resurface.

There are some tweaks to the old dishes; the Chilean sea bass in miso now is more-sustainable sablefish ($35), or black cod. Entrées ($16-$35) largely appear simpler — sweet and sour chicken and teriyaki chicken, for instance. The trio of veal, however, with sumac, grapes, brioche and sunflower sprouts, remains from recent menus.
